Shamalinan "The asherati are what we-- the rest of the world, even --name them; it is the word for sun men in the clipped, Jh'ygsef tongue. But the chosen people of the Pharunic pantheon call themselves the shamalinan. Most don't even remember what that means. Once they held their glory proud, and the ancestors of modern shamalinan grasped the awesome might of the Mandate.. Now the shamalinan, the children of The First Gods, hardly know or can even envisage those ancient times. They are condemned-- to live out clannish, brutal lives in the Red Wastes, caught in a struggle between ignorance, the despair of the dying, and hope for The Prophet." ~Sir Davon Mandamus Personality Physical Description Relations Alignment Religion Language Racial Traits Humanoid (Heir, Shamalinan): Shamalinan are humanoid creatures.

Code of Conduct: Shamalinan are the sworn flesh of the Pharunic gods. If at any time a shamalinan's devotion fails or it acts against the interest of the Pharunic pantheon, a shamalinan experiences physical agony, akin to burning to death. This manifests in many ways, as chosen by the DM, but a common iteration is as follows. The shamalinan gains a -6 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill and ability checks. Furthermore they suffer a -30 penalty to hit points (to a minimum of 1) for at least the duration of the day.

Additionally they are always considered Practiced with all abilities that fall under this category. Finally whenever a shamalinan uses such an ability he can choose to change any damage it deals to raw divine energy. Heat Endurance: Shamalinan gain a +2 bonus on saving throws and Constitution checks to resist fire and heat effects. A shamalinan can exist comfortably in temperatures of up to 120° F without having to make Fortitude saves. A shamalinan has base protection against heat, level 1.

Instead they must immerse themselves fully within sand once per day for 1 hour. A shamalinan may survive for 1 day per Constitution bonus without immersion after which they begin to die; and suffer as if effected by dehydration.

Obsidianjaerc 01-31-08, 07:47 PM	I wasn't very clear, was i? I want impression on balance. I specifically want that for the Alantari ability Dedicated, and advice on which to use. I would like help building a list of Bonus Feats the Shamalinan should get. I would also like an analysis of that race-- they are a bit complex. Finally I would like to know if anyone knows how to delete double posts? I seem to recall a method existing.

Daroneasa 05-10-08, 03:32 AM	Your Solari race seems very unique and interesting, though I think they may be a tad too powerful. What faults might be inherent in this culture? Perhaps some sort of penalty could reflect this. Perhaps their greatest strength, their ability to master two classes and extra feats, is also indicative of their greatest weakness. Perhaps this dual-mindedness may manifest in a lower wisdom than usual, and perhaps Charisma too, for they might be prone to neglecting the niceties in favor of focusing on their chosen pursuits. I dunno, just a thought. Looks like you have a good start though, I look forward to reading more about Nordgard.
